Highlight sets the weight of the palette in optimism and clarity, and Print Black is the swatch that breaks rank: a single blue that stops the set reading as one note. Newsprint and Print Black sit on opposite sides of the temperature line, which is the tension the palette runs on and the pair to hold apart. Print Black and Poster Paper sit 69 points of lightness apart, enough to separate a foreground from a background without forcing it.
Print Black a deep navy or midnight blue, trust deepened into authority and gravity.
Newsprint a burnt or terracotta orange, warmth read through a rustic, sun-worn filter.
Agitprop Red reads as pure adrenaline: alarm, desire, the color of things that move fast.
Highlight an electric, high-visibility yellow: caution and euphoria share the same wavelength here.
Poster Paper a pale butter yellow, gentle brightness, comfort more than alarm.
Photomontage energy - cut-and-paste urgency from Dada, Constructivism, and punk zine culture combined into visceral visual communication
